Jacob Bethell, Saqib Mahmood and Rehan Ahmed have been named in a 17-player squad for the Vitality International T20 series against India.
The five-match series begins on Wednesday 1 July at Banks Homes Riverside in Chester-le-Street.
Alongside the trio of Bethell, Mahmood and Ahmed, who will all represent Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred this year, will be uncapped all-rounder James Coles, who has been called up to an England Men’s squad for the first time.
Mahmood, Jordan Cox and Sonny Baker return to the T20 squad having not been a part of the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton are unavailable due to injury.
England Men’s National Selector, Marcus North, said: “James Coles is an exciting addition and has earned his place following his performances with the England Lions and in T20 competitions here and abroad during the past 12 months.
“We have selected a larger squad to accommodate for the fact that this series will begin shortly after the Test series against New Zealand is due to conclude which allows us to be flexible.”
